IOW, let's not let the (closer-to-)perfect be the enemy of the good. |

That has unfortunately stalled progress before. Let's not let it happen |
| 15 |
this time. It's going to take some time to get the new eselect profile |
| 16 |
features coded, tested, and thru the system (including deprecating the old |
| 17 |
version and profiles). We might as well have the benefit of the spit |
| 18 |
desktop profiles while the ultimate solution's being worked on, especially |
| 19 |
since this one's pretty much ready to go now (days to weeks, including the |
| 20 |
mentioned documentation delay, not months or years). |
